Circus of Books (2019)
Interesting documentary of a couple adapting to a strange new life
This documentary is both a family history and a history of gay culture and society in the USA.
The couple in this story are both looking for a break, when they answer an advertisement to distribute Hustler magazine. This leads to them taking over a bookstore, which they soon discover is also a gay and sexual aid store. Rather than be discouraged, they roll up their sleeves and dive into the business, running it successfully and soon becoming large players in gay movie distribution.
There are moments both serious and humorous, including the mother's challenge to accept her own son's sexuality, which is a bit ironic considering what her business is.
An easy going watch with a lot of heart.
Hell Is Where the Home Is (2018)
A pretty good movie
I didn't expect much from this movie, but was surprised. The beginning started off with a lot of promise, then there was a slower section that probably lasted a little too long. But once the action starts, it is intense, and I think all involved did a goo job.
The characters weren't that likeable, but they were believable. The acting is good, and this is a movie I would recommend.
Alone (2020)
A mediocre thriller, with a few good scenes
This movies starts off with a bang, but that tension soon melts away.
It's not a terrible movie. I can see there is a fairly good plot, but I think it needed to be executed a little better.
It is not a terrible movie.
Angels Fallen (2020)
A storyline that seems ripped out of Supernatural, but fails to impress
This movie looked to be made on a low budget, which probably explains some of the CGI, music, and location choices. The acting, for the main part, is not great. The main actor, who played Gabriel, acts monotone throughout the entire movie. If he showed at least 10% emotion, this may have been a little better.
The fight scenes were not well choreographed, and the death at the end - well, talk about just wanting to finish the movie any way possible.
I did watch the entire movie, because I do like movies that have this type of theme, but it definitely would not be one to watch twice,
